36Warning: This Chapter Includes Excessive Foul Language, Please Read It At Your RiskArmando’s P.O.V I shut the file I was holding in my hand and placed it on the front table, while still being in the conference room, I closed my eyes and exerted a sigh loudly. After dismissing the meeting, I was only forward to be lost in the thoughts of the girl whom I terribly fell in love with where she didn’t give a fuck about it. The one who made me crazy like an obsessive freak, why the fuck would she care about it? Mind threw some dirt at me After all, I’m just a manwhore for her, maybe I’m still acting the same idiot to her because there’s no such positive change in her behaviour towards me but I had noticed further distance between us.Why the fuck should she consider your feelings for her? You forced her to have sex with you. she did the right thing to leave you and have fallen with Nathan, Now, bear it chipmunk. My mind scolded “How could she fall for him? What does that worthless h
37Lana’s P.O.VMy face was stained with tears which I couldn’t hold in sight of Nancy. My face was pinned on her chest meanwhile her shirt was soaked by my crying session. I had been hugging her for nearly an hour, she kept patting my back and I had been hysterical; telling her every thick and thin I went through, and how my destiny decided to give me unendurable shocks at the last moment of my about-to-heaven life. “I know, Nancy, nothing’s ever gonna be fine, It’ll always be like this,” I wept,“No, this is wrong to even think like this, buddy, why don’t you try to see the bright side?” Nancy enquired lowly while running her hand in my hairI, who have been hysterically sobbing, replied, “There’s no bright side f-for me, just look at me, the brigh-ter was coming to me but it was snatched in n-no minute, this man has been blessed as a curse in my life,” Nancy sighed loudly, “You need to fill up your strength at the moment, little friend. This is a temporary circumstance, it’ll be
38“What did you say?” Armando asked me with surprise plastered on his face and a bit of curve on the lips, “Say it again, I want to hear,” he added after pressing my shoulders with his fingers. All I could feel was him forcing me to submit to him, It had been so frustrating to me for not marrying the man I loved, Instead of dealing with my rapist “I-I didn’t mean that to say, It was a tongue-slip,” I elucidated “Kitten, don’t hide yourself to me, I can see through all the intensity you’re hiding from me for a long time,” he politely mumbled, his thumb laid on my chin and pulled up to make me meet his eyes.Coming closer to my left cheek, he whispered, “Let’s not be tough with each other anymore,”“Stop! Stop forcing me to feel for you, why don’t you see what you did to me? Instead of giving me a mental break, you keep pushing me to my limits, Stop it, Armando, I’m done with your games!” I pulled back and hastened to leave the room to avoid the aftermath I created by yelling, As I
39PresentLana’s P.O.V Armando came closer to my face toward an extent where our lips were inches away, his hold over my arm was still the same; forceful and paining me while those eyes were radiating red flags, “Armando, let go of me! You’re hurting me!” I scolded him as I forced my arm out of his fist but he didn’t move even an inch, just too busy in shaping his jaw and glaring at me, “What lullaby did he put in your head?---That I bought you from your parents?” He deeply questioned, his eyes were still emitting an intense dreadful aura“Ethan, Miley, go to your room I’ll be joining you both there,” I spoke, not wanting my fragile kids to be exposed with his ugly word too soon. Both of them quietly stood up and left in no time. I could feel them low already, three of us had always been sensitive to such situations but felt like I was no longer included in a sensitive category. I got used to all of this mess. The door got closed and I continued, “It’s not a myth, it’s the truth
40FlashbackArmando’s P.O.VHouston, TXI was in my Audi SUV, resting on the seat with one leg above another. My eyes loosened as I gazed out of the tinted window with an iPad in my hands. The screen was displaying reports of Los Angeles which needed my urgent attention but I was completely distracted; distracted by a girl who made me a lovesick puppy, I needed every bit of her focus on me, My heart was struggling to keep back the lusty desires which I was visibly failing. It was all over my face that I missed her but never knew I would’ve missed her this severely. I kept being hard on myself by lying that I wasn’t missing her but deep down I knew it was a fucking boogie lie. Every time I tried to concentrate on the screen, her face popped up in my eyes and left me half-hearted. I felt like betraying my kitten for not telling her the truth about my whereabouts. I shouldn’t have lied to her about it nor I should’ve fallen too deeply in love with her that everything I do would leave
8This was it. I had enough, I was so done of everything I encountered back in that room, My mind was spinning all the way back to Miley and Ethan. I no longer wished life for myself because I wasn’t living it for myself after my abduction and I didn’t see any end, I was running to my sibling’s room; wanting to vanish my existence in the snap of a finger but that wasn’t possible, so the best choice I had was to lock myself along with my naive kids in a room and starve to death, I was way too emotional, tears were out of my control and they blurred my vision. I kept running towards the direction which I guessed led to my sibling’s room which I thought they were in. After crossing the corridor, I stopped in front of a door at my left and turned the knob, as I got in, my eyes captured my babies in frightening form; their knees were crouched to their chests. I couldn’t help but weep silently as the scenario broke my break, I was torn to see them shivering, “Guys, are you both alright
42As I cut the call, my world felt like on earth and I finally could breathe freely; knowing my knight in shining armor was coming to rescue me and my family and for a moment I was the happiest person alive until the door knocked, We all stopped in our tracks and both of them snapped their neck towards me with furrow,I nodded and indirectly asked Ethan to check out, “Yes?” Ethan enquired, “Chico, open up,” The voice which I wanted to hear the least made its way to my ears, Ethan got up to open the door but I pulled him back, “What?” he questioned as he turned his head around, “Don’t open it just,” I hesitantly said, “What’s wrong?” he immediately turned into a pack of stress as I restrained him from opening the door, millions of questions pictured on his face, “I don’t wanna see his face right now,” that was the perfect excuse I could come up with, somehow it was true too, Ethan’s eyes were scanning my face to detect lie on my face, his eyes narrowed and fixated on me, “Budd
43Armando’s P.O.VI was leaning back by supporting my legs on desk, my eyes were stoned to the windows while I was mentally unavailable to the pool view. I had phone on my ear and just by then, The line connected and a man decided to speak up,“Hello… master, I was waiting for your call,” stated the person in British accent across the line with a hinge of taunt, it was him who I foolishly trusted for the first time under my leadership. Somehow, the realization made my lips curve faintly,“Still remember me as your master?” I sneered with whole hold of my hatred oozing out of my words. He had balls to mouth off with me knowing he betrayed me and stole my lover just to make my suffer, motherfucker played with fire“Of course, I do, master. Why wouldn’t I? Afterall, I was your saviour not for once, twice but thrice for a reason,” again his fucking taunting tone provoked me to hype up,“And you’ve been awarded for it--- maybe a little too much. I’m glad you remembered me as your master b

I knew I would be stabbed by Nathan’s cousin who’s jealous of me or who would accuse me of seducing him. Maybe, she would throw me in the river like my intuition tried to tell me but I ignored it lately. I should’ve considered my gut feeling rather than Nathan’s request. Look, where I stood; in the mouth of death. I tried to struggle in her hold but she roared at me, keeping me in the hold. I tried to shout but it wasn’t loud enough to call for help. I thought she would push me any second but the hope of survival arose when the sirens started to buzz, deafening us to death. Within seconds, there was an army steadied to kill this culprit. Their weapons were locked on their target and the voice that soothed me came across my ears. “Leave her alone!” Nathan shouted at the top of his lungs. My breath started to
102LanaI wasn’t ready for this night. My heart was racing horribly in my ribcage. Something was not right, something would go wrong and someone was going to pay for it terribly—maybe this child in my womb. Maybe tonight I would be stabbed by one of Nathan’s bitchy cousins who would accuse me of seducing him, just like Armando’s cousin did back in Spain. I prayed to God for the abortion and yet I tried to convince one of the doctors during the clinic visit but no one agreed without Nathan’s approval. My heart just said this child won’t see this world. It would die. I just didn’t want to go through with the stabbing pain once again. I wasn’t that strong to bear pains anymore. I had enough and if this time, anyone would try to harm me, I would end myself with my sinful hands. This was it, this was the solution to end my problems. Maybe, after all the while God wanted me to end myself. He gave me enough clues yet I delayed realising them. It had been three hours since I was continuou
101Next Week Somewhere In LondonNathanIt’s a beautiful feeling to be a dad again. I waited long enough to feel this moment again, yet I had never known that I had to force the pregnancy on a married woman—but it was written to happen under such circumstances and I should be less guilty about it. All because Lana left me no choice. Moreover, not only I was happy because I would be a dad again but also that it was time to finally eradicate that motherfucking Armando and his two carbon copies from the earth. Lana wouldn’t have to bear much pain once she would give birth to our baby. Those little devils would be gone and my little human will replace their space in my queen’s heart.Everything was going perfect the way I wanted and sure enough, it would end the same way I planned—except the culprit’s escaping part. Armando’s breakout wasn’t on the list yet he successfully flew away, killing four of my men in the process which he will pay really soon as I got the lead about his whereabo
100LanaIf it’s true then I was gone. I was busted to live anymore. If Armando was to hear about this I would be much more than trouble. Pregnant? With some other man’s child? I did everything to avoid it. I even bribed Mary to steal birth-control pills for me, how come I got pregnant. Argh, I wanna vanish my existence. If the pregnant part was real, I would really jump off the cliff. I couldn’t prepare myself for the bloodlust of my children or this foetus. This unborn had to die or Armando would kill him and me. I knew how far he could go. He was a maniac in my case. And as far as he was possessive about me being only his. I could predict I would pay a big price for Nathan’s deed. “Good to see you, Mr. Knightley, how may I help?” Malinda’s voice rang in my ear like a driller screwing my head. Though she had a velvet voice but right now, she was the person I needed to stay away from. Her clicks of heels grew louder as she came closer to me and Nathan who had been playing with my h
99LanaPhew. Thank God I successfully got control of the situation before I could finally be thrown to the bed and lost my chance for a dinner outside of this room. It had been fifteen minutes since leaving the house. I was sitting on the passenger seat beside Nathan who was driving his posh Lamborghini. It was the smooth black ride up in the mountains and the view I was having all the while was completely mesmerising. The street lights and the moonlight seemed like having a competition to glorify the route for me tonight. I would’ve enjoyed this moment even more if Nathan would be in his casket like he should’ve rather than driving the car like my man. I sighed at this thought. The pleasant feeling in my chest faded away with realisation of Nathan’s presence. I couldn’t just swallow the thought that I used to die for this man once, I even prayed to see him again when I had affection for him. But the very affection died when Armando started becoming a man of my dreams. He deliberat
98Lana“Speak,” Leone said with the second line connected. My heart palpitated but I overcame my growing anxiety. “Leone, It’s Lana…” I enlightened him. “… They imprisoned us separately for months. I had no connection to Armando even though I tried to encounter him once, Nathan had security at every step. I am not sure if he’s still in his torture cellar or they have done something to him or sent him to God knows where,” I ran my mouth like a bullet train, giving him no chance to speak. “Is everything good on your side?” The second I asked this question had me panicking inwardly. “We are drowning, my lady…” he said in a monotone but the effect his words brought was enough for sinking my heart, “…Our businesses are being sealed by the board for illegal conspiracies. Someone had cracked our shares in the underground sector and we are losing our men count. Our weapons are being stolen from the ports and many more harm’s been done. Everything is out of order. We lost three hundred me
97LanaNathan caught me faking my sleep. I had my eyes closed when he came near and sat beside me on the bed. He didn’t do anything for ten minutes, just quietly sat there and admired me from afar—that’s only what I could get with my eyes closed. But later, I felt his thumb striking with my cheek that ascended inside the blanket and he ended up scooping his hand inside my panties, rubbing my core and wetting me. When he slid a finger in me, I moaned and my eyes wide-opened. I gawked at him with astonished eyes. “What the heck, Nathan, leave me for God’s sake,” I huffed, disapproving his touch in between my moan and got his hand out of my pants, for a fact I hated reacting to his touch so intensely, that makes him full of himself a little more every time. He honestly knew all the perfect spots—but this time his perfection wasn’t my main focus. It was basically the fact that I had a phone and key hidden in my socks that churned my stomach for bad.“I was checking if you were still hot
96Two Months LaterLanaTwo months. A heck of a long time that I spent in a single gigantic room as a hostage. These fucking two months had me crying, screaming, begging for help, pleading for mercy and at last swearing at Nathan for being an asshole with me. I never thought Nathan could be like this. He raped me often. Yes, I would call it rape. He didn’t care what I said to him he only wanted to be inside me thrice a week.He provided me with clothes, food, Netflix and everything any other girl would desire but I was more interested in being able to breathe freely. Moreover, I missed my kids. Not even a single day passed by without me weeping for them. I never left them alone. I didn’t know if Sebastian reached home safe to Nancy or not.I was only stuck here for nothing and I see this situation going to nowhere good. I was hugging my knees, trying to think of a breakout for the thousandth time since two months. This time my escape wasn’t easy because I wasn’t sure if they kept Arm
95Lana“Then, I can even make you have dozens of kids containing your blood just now,” Nathan stated fearlessly. I blinked twice as his words sank in my stomach, each word containing tons of heavy metals that felt like ripping through each ounce of my soul.Making babies appeared to be a joke to him. How could he mock something sacred so efficiently? He wasn’t like this before. I remembered him as someone gentle and considerate yet now, he was portrayed to be cold and selfish. “I don’t want to believe in my ears, speak something real, Nathan,” I replied, foggily. “Do my face tell you I'm joking to you, Lana? If children are the only reason that’s bonding you with that generational motherfucker, then I shall eliminate the root cause and set you free,” I wanted to believe that it was Nathan speaking with such a grudge but somewhere my heart denied. His awful mindset was making him loathe myself for falling for him once. Maybe God saved me from an absolute devil through a qualified de
